The heat and chills that come with fever are not only uncomfortable but also metabolically costly. Increased body temperature, however, can make all the difference when you’re sick.

SARS-CoV-2 is much like a zombie virus. It interferes with normal sickness behavior and blocks pain, turning its victims into unsick spreaders of the virus.
Los patógenos suelen enfrentarse a un equilibrio entre la virulencia y la transmisión. Pero ese no es el caso con el SARS-CoV-2.
Pathogens typically face a trade-off between virulence and transmission. But that’s not the case with SARS-CoV-2.
